Why would you need an aftermarket cooler? is yours not doing its job? Mine is O/C'd to 729/1782/1044 right now and with the fan running at 100%, i can't get the temperature to go over 72C.

 

I'm just saying this because you don't really need an aftermarket cooler to overclock an 8800GT decently. now if you're talking extreme overclocking... then that's a different story.
